- I don't know exactly where the Gulf Stream streams. Most of my Atlantic
- swimming has been off the east coast of Florida. Is that the Gulf Stream?
- I can assure you that the water is not cold. It's fine for skinny dipping
- and even for other activities. Or at least it was back in the old days
- when there were still lots of stretches of deserted beach just south of
- Melbourn, Florida.
